A senior Hong Kong police officer, Senior Superintendent Ian Chow Ngai-kong, is sentenced to prison for indecently assaulting a subordinate female colleague on three occasions in 2024. Court reporting says the assaults take place at Hong Kong Police Force headquarters, including during events connected to work.

Multiple outlets report that West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts hears the case and issues a jail term of five months and three weeks, with one report describing it as nearly six months. The sentencing follows a guilty verdict for indecent assault offences linked to incidents on June 19 and November 1, 2024.

One report notes the court does not require immediate service of the sentence. Details of the court’s reasoning and any conditions attached to the sentence are not specified in the excerpts provided.
